Summary

With a government shutdown fully in effect, Ronny Chieng takes a look at Trump's confusingly racist AI videos of Democratic leaders and braces for how the shutdown will impact everything from the TSA to national parks. Plus, Josh Johnson reports live from the Grand Canyon, which is already turning into a literal s**thole. Michael Kosta has the hottest moolah-making tips for how to capitalize on recent economic headlines, like adults ordering off the kids' menu, the tooth fairy short-changing kids, and a recall on exploding prosecco bottles from Costco, in the latest installment of Ko$ta Doing Business. Writer and director Benny Safdie talks to Ronny about the inspiration and creative process behind his new film, “The Smashing Machine,” which is based on the life of MMA fighter Mark Kerr. He describes collaborating with Kerr and the film’s star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, to portray the authentic experience of a fighter while telling a human story about pain and resilience, and breaks down how the film’s unique cinematography connects the audience to the character.
